President Trump criticized former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates on Monday evening for her not sharing new information about Mike Flynn or Russia at a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing.
“Sally Yates made the fake media extremely unhappy today —- she said nothing but old news!” Trump tweeted.

Although no major breaking news came out of the former Obama administration officials at the hearing, Trump does not think this will be the end of the controversies surrounding Russia.
“Director Clapper reiterated what everybody, including the fake media already knows- there is ‘no evidence’ of collusion w/ Russia and Trump,” Trump wrote. “The Russia-Trump collusion story is a total hoax, when will this taxpayer funded charade end?”

Instead, Trump said the “biggest story” that came out of the hearing was what former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and Yates said about surveillance.
Biggest story today between Clapper & Yates is on surveillance. Why doesn’t the media report on this? #FakeNews!
